To enhance community empowerment, systems and diverse community responses, the Stop TB Partnership and EANNASO developed OneImpact as a framework on community-based monitoring (CBM) in TB. OneImpact allows service users, community support groups, advocacy organizations, providers of TB services and policy makers to input, gather and use community-based information for more efficient local responses that respond directly to community needs and for longer term advocacy and program purposes;
- Enhances the empowerment of people who have TB; by giving people; information about TB and available medical and peer support services, and the option to report challenges.
- Enhances community engagement and support; by providing a platform for people to report challenges, and connect with each other.
- Enhances responses; by generating real time data for advocacy, programs and services and prompting action and decision making.
One Impact consists of a library of Apps that can be downloaded and/or further adapted according to the specific needs of people affected by TB and community organizations supporting people with TB. The platform also offers developers tools to support the development /adaptations of apps to meet specific requirements. OneImpact has four applications
